Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

In the scene of the Internet of things, a router is arranged to provide WIFI hotspots for the intelligent equipment. A router may provide hotspots with internet access capabilities as well as hotspots without internet access capabilities. Such a hotspot with internet access capability may be referred to as a web hotspot.

The network distribution refers to a process of sending access information of the internet access hotspot to the intelligent device. The access information includes an SSID (Service Set Identifier) and a password of the hotspot.

In an existing network distribution method, an internet access hotspot is provided by a router. The user terminal (mobile phone) provides a hot spot for the intelligent equipment, the user terminal can place the access information of the internet access hot spot in a specific WiFi data message in a special coding mode and send the access information to the intelligent equipment, and the intelligent equipment acquires the access information of the internet access hot spot by monitoring the message.

However, this method for distributing network has the following disadvantages:

1) the time of the distribution network is longer. The distribution network messages can only be carried in the management frame of WiFi, each message carries a small amount of information in the access information, and dozens of messages are often required to be sent to carry complete access information in implementation; due to the fact that the number of WiFI channels is large, the intelligent device needs to traverse all WiFI channels to monitor the distribution network messages, and the consumed time is usually about 60 seconds.

2) The user needs to manually input access information of the internet access hotspot. In order to ensure the security of the password, the home router usually requires that the length of the password is not less than 8 bytes, and requires letters, numbers and special symbols, so the process of inputting the SSID and the password on the mobile phone by a user is troublesome, time-consuming and easy to make mistakes.

3) The applicability of the solution is increasingly poor. At present, WiFi of routers such as families and the like often supports two frequency bands of 2.GHz and 5GHz, when a mobile phone finds that the router supports double frequency, the mobile phone can be preferentially connected with a hot spot of 5GHz, most of the existing intelligent equipment only supports WiFI of 2.4GHz, and therefore the mobile phone sends distribution network information in the frequency band of 5GHz, and the intelligent equipment cannot monitor related data in the frequency band of 2.4 GHz.

4) And the problem of mismatching when multiple users are simultaneously distributed. Suppose that a user A purchases a device A, a neighbor user B purchases a device B of the same model, and the user A and the user B initiate a distribution network at the same time. Since both the device a and the device B can receive the distribution network information sent by the two users, a hotspot may occur that the device a receives the distribution network information of the user B and is connected to the home router of the user B, and the device B is erroneously connected to the hotspot of the home router of the user a.

In another existing network distribution method, the intelligent device starts a WIFI hotspot, the mobile phone is connected to the WIFI hotspot of the device, then the SSID and the password of the router internet access hotspot are transmitted to the intelligent device, and then the intelligent device is connected to the internet access hotspot and then connected to the internet.

However, this method for distributing network has the following disadvantages:

1) the user manually inputs the SSID and the password of the internet access hotspot. The process of the user entering the SSID and password is cumbersome and error prone.

2) After the mobile phones are connected to the equipment hotspot, a plurality of mobile phones can detect whether the hotspot can surf the internet or not, and if the hotspot cannot surf the internet, the mobile phones are switched back to the 4G network of the operator, which may cause that the distribution network is switched to the 4G network without finishing the distribution of the mobile phones, and the distribution network fails.

3) And the problem of mismatching when multiple users are simultaneously distributed. When the user a and the user B purchase devices of the same model and initiate a distribution network at the same time, a situation may occur in which the device a connects to the home router hotspot of the user B, and the device B connects to the home router hotspot of the user a.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of steps of embodiment 1 of a method for accessing a device to be networked to a network hotspot device is shown, where the network hotspot device creates a first hotspot and a second hotspot, and the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 101, the device to be distributed reports device information of the device to be distributed to one or more network hotspot devices through a first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices;

the network hotspot device may be a router or an AP (access point) without a routing function.

The network hotspot device can simultaneously create a plurality of hotspots, and each hotspot has one SSID for distinguishing.

In the embodiment of the application, the network hotspot device creates the first hotspot and the second hotspot after being powered on. The first hot spot is a hot spot without the capability of accessing the internet, and the second hot spot is a hot spot with the capability of accessing the internet. If the equipment to be distributed is accessed to the first hotspot, the equipment to be distributed can communicate with the network hotspot equipment, but can not access the Internet through the network hotspot equipment. If the equipment to be distributed is accessed to the second hotspot, the equipment to be distributed can communicate with the network hotspot equipment and can also access the Internet through the network hotspot equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, if a plurality of network hotspot devices are arranged near one device to be networked, the device to be networked can sequentially access the first hotspot of each network hotspot device, and report the device information of the device to be networked to the network hotspot device through the first hotspot. The device information may include a device model and a MAC address, among others.

After the network to be distributed equipment is accessed to a first hotspot of one network hotspot equipment, equipment information is sent to the network hotspot equipment. And then the equipment to be distributed is disconnected with the network hotspot equipment, then a first hotspot of the next network hotspot equipment is accessed, and equipment information is sent until the equipment information is sent to all the discovered network hotspot equipment.

In the scene of smart home, the devices to be networked can be various smart devices placed in a house.

Step 102, the one or more network hotspot devices send the device information to a server;

the network hotspot device sends the received device information to the server, so that the server can collect the device information of a plurality of devices to be connected with the network, and the server knows that a new device to be connected with the network exists at present. In the process, the server may find that multiple network hotspot devices report the device information of the same device to be networked.

The network hotspot device may also send its own MAC address to the server. The server can search the IP address of the network hotspot device according to the MAC address of the network hotspot device. According to the IP address of the network hotspot device, the area where the device to be networked is located is determined, so that the server can collect the area information of the devices to be networked.

103, sending a distribution network request message for the equipment to be distributed to the server by one or more user terminals corresponding to the one or more network hotspot equipment;

the user terminal corresponding to the network hotspot device refers to a user terminal connected to the hotspot of the network hotspot device. In the embodiment of the application, the network hotspot device can send a reminding message to the corresponding user terminal to inform the user of initiating a network distribution request for the device to be distributed. The user can send a distribution network request message for the equipment to be distributed to the server through the user terminal.

Step 104, the server determines the user terminal corresponding to the first received distribution network request message as a target user terminal, and sends a distribution network response message to the target user terminal;

if the server receives the distribution network request messages sent by the plurality of user terminals, the server determines the user terminal corresponding to the first received distribution network request message as a target user terminal, and sends a distribution network response message to the target user terminal to inform a user of starting subsequent distribution network operation. The server may send a request failure message to the user terminals other than the target user terminal to inform other users not to perform the distribution network operation currently, and may request the distribution network again after a period of time.

Step 105, after receiving the distribution network response message, the target user terminal starts an access flow of the to-be-distributed network equipment to a second hotspot of the target network hotspot equipment; the target network hotspot device is a network hotspot device corresponding to the target user terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the distribution network response message, the target user terminal may automatically start an access flow of the to-be-distributed network device to a second hotspot of the target network hotspot device, or start an access flow of the to-be-distributed network device to the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device according to the operation of the user.

The access process of the network-to-be-distributed device for the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device may include: and providing the network distribution process aiming at the access information of the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device for the device to be network distributed, wherein the device to be network distributed accesses the second hotspot of the target network hotspot device through the access information, so that the internet can be accessed.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of steps of embodiment 2 of a method for accessing a device to be networked to a network hotspot device according to the present application is shown, where the network hotspot device creates a first hotspot and a second hotspot, and the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 201, the device to be configured reports device information of the device to be configured to one or more network hotspot devices through a first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices;

the network hotspot device may be a router or an AP without a routing function. In the embodiment of the application, the network hotspot device creates the first hotspot and the second hotspot after being powered on. The first hot spot is a hot spot without the capability of accessing the internet, and the second hot spot is a hot spot with the capability of accessing the internet. If the equipment to be distributed is accessed to the first hotspot, the equipment to be distributed can communicate with the network hotspot equipment, but can not access the Internet through the network hotspot equipment. If the equipment to be distributed is accessed to the second hotspot, the equipment to be distributed can communicate with the network hotspot equipment and can also access the Internet through the network hotspot equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, step 201 may include the following sub-steps:

in substep S11, the device to be networked accesses the first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices one by using preset first hotspot access information for the first hotspot of the one or more network hotspot devices;

in the embodiment of the present application, the first hotspot access information (SSID and password) of the network hotspot device is fixed. First hotspot access information of a plurality of network hotspot devices can be preset in the device to be networked. After the network distribution equipment is powered on, the preset first hotspot access information is used for discovering the first hotspot. If a plurality of first hotspots exist, the to-be-configured network equipment is connected with the first hotspots of the network hotspot equipment one by one.

Specifically, the device to be configured may generate an access request by using the first hotspot access information, and then send the access request to the network hotspot device. And the network hotspot equipment verifies whether the access information is correct, and if so, the connection between the equipment to be configured and the first hotspot is established.

And a substep S12, after the network to be distributed device accesses a first hotspot of a network hotspot device, sending device information of the network to the network hotspot device.

After the device information is sent, the connection is disconnected, and then the first hotspot of the next network hotspot device is connected.

Step 202, the one or more network hotspot devices send the device information to a server;

The network hotspot device may also send its own MAC address to the server. The server can search the IP address of the network hotspot device according to the MAC address of the network hotspot device. According to the IP address of the network hotspot device, the area where the device to be networked is located is determined, so that the server can collect the area information of a plurality of devices.

In this embodiment, the method may further include:

the server acquires IP address information of the one or more network hotspot devices; and the server determines the area where the equipment to be networked is located according to the IP address information of the one or more network hotspot equipment.

The device to be networked can report the device information to the network hotspot device through a first hotspot which is provided by the network hotspot device and does not have the capability of accessing the internet, and the network hotspot device uploads the device information to the server. The server can determine the area where the device to be networked is located according to the IP address information of the network hotspot device. Therefore, the server can collect the area and the equipment information of each equipment to be networked under the condition that the equipment is not provided with a network.

By the method, the equipment provider can know which areas the product is sold well and which areas the product is sold poorly, and accordingly targeted promotion is developed.

Step 203, sending a distribution network request message for the device to be distributed to the server by one or more user terminals corresponding to the one or more network hotspot devices;

in the embodiment of the present application, step 203 may include the following sub-steps:

substep S21, the one or more user terminals send inquiry messages of the network devices to be distributed to the corresponding network hotspot devices;

the user terminal can send a network to be distributed equipment query message to the network hotspot equipment connected with the user terminal to query whether the network to be distributed equipment exists.

In substep S22, the one or more network hotspot devices generate notification information of the to-be-configured network devices aiming at the first hotspot of the to-be-configured network hotspot devices according to the query message of the to-be-configured network devices;

after receiving the inquiry message of the network-to-be-distributed equipment, the network hotspot equipment determines the network-to-be-distributed equipment which has access to a first hotspot of the network hotspot equipment. For example, if the first device to be networked and the second device to be networked access a first hotspot of a certain network hotspot device, after the device information is sent to the network hotspot device, the first device to be networked and the second device to be networked disconnect from the network hotspot device. And when the network hotspot device receives the inquiry message of the device to be distributed, the network hotspot device generates notification information of the device to be distributed aiming at the first device to be distributed and the second device to be distributed.

And the network hotspot equipment generates informing information of the equipment to be networked according to the equipment to be networked, and returns the informing information of the equipment to be networked to the user terminal. The notification information of the devices to be distributed may be a list of the devices to be distributed.

Step 204, the server determines the user terminal corresponding to the first received distribution network request message as a target user terminal, and sends a distribution network response message to the target user terminal;

Step 205, after receiving the distribution network request message, the server sends a second distribution network starting message to the target network hotspot device; the target network hotspot device is a network hotspot device corresponding to the target user terminal;

after receiving a distribution network request message sent by one or more user terminals, the server determines a target user terminal and sends a second distribution network starting message to a target network hotspot device connected with the target user terminal so as to inform the target network hotspot device of creating a third hotspot.

When one or more user terminals initiate a distribution network request to the same equipment, the server only returns a response to the target user terminal of the first request, and the target user terminal starts a distribution network flow. Therefore, the situation that when a plurality of user terminals are simultaneously distributed with a network, the equipment is connected to the wrong network hotspot equipment in a wrong way is avoided.

Step 206, after receiving the second distribution network starting message, the target network hotspot device creates a third hotspot in a preset time period.

And after receiving the second distribution network starting message, the target network hotspot device creates a third hotspot in a certain time period. After a certain period of time, the target network hotspot device will close the third hotspot.

The third hotspot of the network hotspot device is a hotspot without internet access capability.

Step 207, after receiving the distribution network response message, the target user terminal sends a first distribution network starting message to the device to be distributed;

and after receiving the distribution network response message, the target user terminal sends a first distribution network starting message to the equipment to be distributed, so that the remote control equipment starts a distribution network flow.

In an example, after seeing the distribution network response message of the user terminal, the user may start the distribution network flow in the device to be distributed by himself. For example, a distribution network starting button is arranged in the equipment to be distributed, and after the starting button is pressed, the equipment to be distributed starts a distribution network flow.

Step 208, after receiving the first distribution network starting message, the device to be distributed accesses a third hotspot of the target network hotspot device;

and after the network distribution equipment receives the first network distribution starting message, starting a network distribution process. In the distribution network process, the device to be distributed is firstly accessed to a third hotspot of the target network hotspot device. In the embodiment of the present application, step 208 may include the following sub-steps:

in substep S31, the device to be networked accesses the third hotspot of the target network hotspot device by using preset third hotspot access information for the third hotspot of the target network hotspot device.

And the network hotspot equipment verifies whether the access information is correct, and if so, establishes connection between the equipment to be networked and a third hotspot.

Step 209, the network-to-be-distributed device receives second hotspot access information, which is returned by the target network hotspot device through the third hotspot and is specific to the second hotspot;

after the network to be distributed equipment is accessed to the third hotspot of the target network hotspot equipment, the network hotspot equipment returns second hotspot access information aiming at the second hotspot to the network to be distributed equipment.

The second hotspot access information comprises an SSID and a password, wherein the SSID is fixed, and the password can be dynamically changed.

Step 210, the device to be configured accesses a second hotspot of the target network hotspot device by using the second hotspot access information.

And after the network-to-be-distributed equipment receives the second hotspot access information, the network-to-be-distributed equipment is disconnected from the third hotspot. And then accessing a second hotspot of the target network hotspot equipment by adopting second hotspot access information. And after the network distribution equipment is accessed to the second hotspot, the Internet can be accessed through the second hotspot.

Step 604, the device to be configured accesses the second hotspot of the network hotspot device by using the second hotspot access information.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following description is given by way of an example:

fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating that a device to be configured accesses a network hotspot device in the embodiment of the present application.

The network hotspot device may be a router or an AP without a routing function. The network hotspot equipment is powered on, namely a first hotspot and a second hotspot are created, wherein the first hotspot is a hotspot without internet access capability, and the second hotspot is a hotspot with internet access capability. The SSID and password of the first hotspot are fixed.

The SSID and the password of the first hotspot are preset in the firmware of the equipment to be networked, and the SSID and the password are used for connecting the first hotspot of the network hotspot equipment after the equipment to be networked is powered on. If the device to be networked discovers a plurality of first hotspots, the device to be networked connects each first hotspot one by one, and informs the device model and MAC address information of the device to be networked to the network hotspot device where the first hotspot is located. And then disconnecting to connect to the next first hotspot until all supported network hotspot devices know the existence of the device to be networked.

After knowing the information of the device to be networked, the network hotspot device reports the model number, the MAC address and the identifier of the router (such as the MAC address of the router) to the server, so that the server knows that a new device to be networked exists at present. And the server records the equipment information of the equipment to be distributed. In the process, the server may find that a plurality of network hotspot devices report that the same network to be distributed is found by the server.

When a user opens a mobile phone APP, the APP asks the user whether network hotspot equipment connected with the user exists or not, and the network hotspot equipment feeds back a list of the equipment to be distributed discovered by the user to the mobile phone APP.

After receiving the list of the devices to be distributed, the user selects the devices to be distributed, which the user wants to distribute, to start the distribution network, and then the process of the distribution network serialization is started.

Assuming that both user 1 and neighboring user 2 purchase the same model of device (referred to as device 1 and device 2), after device 1 and device 2 are powered on, both devices will advertise their model and MAC information to the network hotspot devices of user 1 and user 2. Therefore, two devices to be networked are displayed on the mobile phones APP of the user 1 and the user 2. However, the user may not know which device is the user, and therefore the user may randomly select one device to perform the distribution network, and a situation may occur in which the user 1 initiates the distribution network to the device 2 and the user 2 initiates the distribution network to the device 1, so that a situation may occur in which the device 2 is connected to the network hotspot device of the user 1 and the device 1 is connected to the network hotspot device of the user 2.

When the user 1 initiates a distribution network, the user sends a distribution network request message to the server on the mobile phone, and the distribution network request message sends information of all devices to be distributed of the same model, which are found by the network hotspot device of the user, to the server no matter which device the user selects, and tells the server that all the devices do not allow other users to initiate the distribution network at present.

Therefore, if the user 2 also initiates the distribution network at this time, when the request sent by his mobile APP reaches the server, the server finds that these devices are currently distributed by another user, and immediately returns a distribution network failure message to the user 2, and informs the user 2 to wait for a period of time (for example, 60 seconds) and then perform the distribution network attempt again.

The server sends a second distribution network starting message to the first network hotspot device initiating the user connection of the distribution network so as to inform the network hotspot device of starting the distribution network. After receiving the second distribution network startup message, the network hotspot device creates a third hotspot (the SSID and password of the hotspot are also fixed), and the hotspot is closed after a period of time (60 seconds).

The server also sends a distribution network response message to the mobile phone of the user starting the distribution network, and then the mobile phone APP prompts the user to initiate a distribution network process on the equipment. In an example, the device side has a button to start the distribution network of the device side, and after the user presses the distribution network button of the device, the distribution network process is started. In another example, the mobile phone may send a first distribution network starting message to the device, and the device starts the distribution network process after receiving the first distribution network starting message.

After the distribution network flow is started, the equipment to be distributed uses the preset SSID and password of the third hotspot to connect with the third hotspot of the network hotspot equipment.

The network hotspot device finds that the model of the device requesting the network distribution is the device to be distributed of the network which the network hotspot device wants to distribute, and sends the SSID and the password of the second hotspot to the device to be distributed.

And after the equipment to be distributed receives the SSID and the password of the second hotspot, the equipment to be distributed is connected with the second hotspot of the network hotspot equipment.

After the device to be connected to the second hotspot is connected to the network, the mobile phone APP is notified that the mobile phone APP is connected to the second hotspot.

The mobile phone APP informs the server device of successful network distribution.

And the server clears the record of the equipment with the distributed network after knowing that the equipment is successfully distributed.

In the embodiment of the application, the device to be networked can report the device information to the network hotspot device through the first hotspot which is provided by the network hotspot device and does not have the capability of accessing the internet, and the network hotspot device uploads the device information to the server. The server can determine the area where the device is located according to the IP address information of the network hotspot device. Therefore, the server can collect the area and the equipment information of each equipment under the condition that the equipment is not provided with a network. By the method, the equipment provider can know which areas the product is sold well and which areas the product is sold poorly, and accordingly targeted promotion is developed.

When one or more user terminals initiate a distribution network request to the same equipment to be distributed, the server only returns a response to the target user terminal of the first request, and the target user terminal starts a distribution network process. Therefore, the situation that when a plurality of user terminals are simultaneously distributed with a network, the equipment is connected to the wrong network hotspot equipment in a wrong way is avoided.

In the embodiment of the application, the second hotspot access information is returned to the equipment to be distributed by the network hotspot equipment, and a user does not need to manually input the access information to the equipment to be distributed, so that the operation of the user is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that, for simplicity of description, the method embodiments are described as a series of acts or combination of acts, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments are not limited by the order of acts described, as some steps may occur in other orders or concurrently depending on the embodiments. Further, those skilled in the art will also appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification are presently preferred and that no particular act is required of the embodiments of the application.
